The
Hunger (1983, 99 min, GB)
Director: Tony Scott Studio: MGM
Starring: Catherine Deneuve, Susan Sarandon, David Bowie,
Cliff DeYoung, Willem Dafoe
Catherine Deneuve stars as Miriam, an icy, elegant vampiress,
thousands of years old, who goes on the prowl for a new
mate after her 200-year lover (David Bowie) quickly ages.
Her affections find their way to Sara (Susan Sarandon),
a doctor who has written on the subject of accelerated aging.
Dripping with cinematic style and chic sexual intrigue,
The Hunger is both a chilling vampire tale and
a sensuous drama of lesbian attraction and desire. The two
sensually flirt, fall into each other's arms, and make loveand,
of course, share blood.

Amazing Dreams Short-Short Review:
The
Hunger
LOVE IT!!! Catherine Deneuve beds Susan Sarandon in a love
scene that was totally made up by the actresses! What more
could you ask for? If you are into vampires,
the novel The
Hunger by Whitley Strieber is fantastic--one of the
best vamp novels ever written, although the ending is very
different than the film.

If
These Walls Could Talk 2 (2000, 92 min, US)
Director: Jane Anderson, Martha Coolidge & Anne Heche
Studio: HBO
Starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Marian Seldes, Elizabeth Perkins,
Paul Giamatti, Michelle Williams, Chloe Sevigny, Nia Long,
Natasha Lyonne, Amy Carlson, Sharon Stone, Ellen DeGeneres,
Kathy Najimy, Mitchell Anderson
Vanessa Redgrave won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress
for her performance in the first part of this terrific film.
Where the original Walls dealt with three women
each struggling with unwanted pregnancy, the sequel takes
a private look at the lives of three lesbian couples during
three different time periods in America: the 60s,
70s, and the new millennium. The common link is the
house of the title: they all occupy it at one time or another.
The year 1961 features Marian Seldes and Vanessa Redgrave
as an older lesbian couple who had been together for fifty
years. When Seldes dies of a stroke, Redgrave is forced
to grieve in silence. As she is not family in
the traditional sense, Redgrave is forced to endure the
humiliation of Seldes' only family coming to claim the house
and its contents for themselves. The year 1972 confronts
peer pressure and sexual identity as Michelle Williams finds
herself attracted to the butch Chloe Sevigny,
much to the chagrin of her hippie friends. In the year 2000,
the house is now occupied by lovers Ellen DeGeneres and
Sharon Stone. Deeply in love, the only thing missing from
their idyllic life is a child of their own. Making her directorial
debut, Anne Heche conveys the couple's frustrations and
hopes (with sperm donors, adoption agencies, etc.) in a
manner sure to hit close to home for anyone who has faced
the same trials.

I've
Heard the Mermaids Singing (1987, 81 min, Canada)
Director: Patricia Rozema
Starring: Sheila McCarthy, Paule Baillargeon
Shelia McCarthy is enchanting as the romantically naive
Polly, who becomes infatuated with her female boss in this
whimsical comedy. Her boss, the curator of the gallery,
is a lesbian involved in a relationship with a very butch
lover. The characters, especially the heart-wrenchingly
sweet Polly, make this a special film experience. (This
video is currently out of print and is not available for
sale, but may possibly be found for rent.)

Kissing
Jessica Stein (2002, 96 min, US)
Director: Charles Herman-Wurmfeld, Studio: Fox Searchlight
Starring: Jennifer Westfeldt, Heather Juergensen, Scott Cohen,
Tovah Feldshuh
Copy editor Jessica Stein
has high expectations with every guy she attempts to date.
Jaded by constant disappointment with men, she answers a singles
ad under the "women seeking women" section. She
meets art dealer Helen Cooper, who is equally tired of her
mundane routine in which she has a different gent for various
sexual needs. What happens when these two formidable women
get together forms the core of a most charming romantic comedy,
complete with well-rounded characters brought to life by a
talented ensemble who go a long way to help identify and define
the complexity all relationships have.

Isle
of Lesbos (1996, 98 min, US)
Director: Jeff B. Harmon Studio: Indie-Underground
Starring: Kirsten Holly Smith, Danica Sheridan, Sonya Hensley,
Michael Dotson,
Alex Boling, Janet Krajeski, Sabrina Lu, Dionysius Burbano,
Calvin Grant, Jeff B. Harmon
This high energy, patently offensive musical romp (think
The Wizard of Oz meets The Rocky Horror
Picture Show as staged by Busby Berkeley) will have
you either dancing in the aisles or running for the exits.
In Bumbuck, Arkansas, a dirt-water town peopled by white Bible-thumping
hicks, we find Alice, a sweet young thing who, in a moment
of despair before her shotgun wedding, kills herself. She
reemerges on the Isle of Sapphosan Amazonian underworld
led by a corpulent queen (Blatz Balinski, a bear-guzzling
bull dyke) who rules over a bevy of gorgeous, scantily clad
lesbian subjects. Alice discovers her sexual wonderland as
she embraces the Sapphic way of life. But the folks back home
arrive determined to take her back to their heterosexual world.

Late
Bloomers (1997, 104 min, US)
Director: Gretchen Dyer & Julia Dyer Studio: Strand
Releasing
Starring: Connie Nelson, Dee Hennigan, Gary Carter, Lisa
Peterson, Val Lumpkin
This comedy-drama is set in Eleanor Roosevelt High School
where Dinah, a gangly math teacher and basketball coach,
becomes friends with the cute but doughy Carly, a married
school secretary and mother of two. What begins as innocent
friendship soon becomes much more. As the two become more
bold in their public affection for each other, Carly's husband,
her sensitive daughter and young son, as well as neighbors
and coworkers, begin to talk and become increasingly troubled.
But romance triumphs over all adversities as the two women
throw caution to the wind and fall passionately in love
with each other.

Lianna
(1982, 110 min, US)
Director: John Sayles
Starring: Linda Griffiths, Jane Hallaren, Jon DeVries
Director-writer Sayles' exceptional
and humorous exploration of the coming out of the good
wife offers a compassionate view of lesbianism, self-determination,
and unrest. Lianna (Linda Griffiths) confronts her husband's
infidelity, falls in love with her female graduate instructor,
and sets out on her own. Sayles directs with a sensitive hand,
and his perceptive screenplay contains many vulnerable and
tender moments examining one woman's budding lesbian self-realization.

L
Word Season 1 (2003, 600 min, US)
Director: Mary Harron, Rose Troche, Lynne Stopkewich, Clement
Virgo, Daniel Minahan, Tony Goldwyn, Kari Skogland Studio:
Showtime
Cast: Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, Karina Lombard, Laurel
Holloman, Eric Mabius, Katherine Moennig, Mia Kirschner, Pam
Grier, Tammy Lynn Michaels, Guinevere Turner, Anne Archer,
Julian Sands, Ossie Davis, Lolita Davidovitch, Snoop Dogg,
Rosanna Arquette, Helen Shaver, Kelly Lynch
Like
the best drugs, "The L Word" will hook you from
the first moment and not let go. If you're a " "Sex
and the City," and "Six Feet Under" addict,
"The L Word" is not to be missed. We fully expected
politically correct, boring TV, what we got was a group of
new friends/high drama.
Tim (Eric Mabius) the sweet straight man wants to marry his
high school sweetheart, Jenny (Mia Kirschner) who is a total
psycho. She sleeps with anyone who will give her attention
and drama is her middle name. They live next door to Bette
(Jennifer Beals) and Tina, the upper-class, child-seeking
lesbian couple who've got lots of intrigue of their own. Shane
breaks hearts and sleeps with all the young girls -- she just
needs better judgment. Dana is a tennis player just coming
out of the closet who may have picked a psycho girlfriend.
And then there's Alice, the bisexual journalist, who's played
by Leisha Hailey, the only out dyke in the cast! In a strong
recurring role is blaxpoiltation star Pam Grier as Bette's
recovering sister Kit. Definitely not just for lesbians, "The
L Word" features hot sex, strong writing, superlative
acting and drama you won't want to miss a moment of.

Season 1
Lots of women say
"No one WE know looks like that, or is rich like that,
or on and on and on." We say WHATEVER! The L Word touches
on subjects that most shows just skirt over, and we LOVE IT.
The only complaint we have is Jenny. Goddess, please help
us with Jenny. Guess there's always got to be at least one
Problem Child in everybody's world, and Jenny is that character.

Rosanna Arquette, Helen Shaver, Kelly Lynch
High
on drama and cable TV sex and nudity, "The L Word"
has struck a nerve with American television watchers. One
of Showtime's biggest hit shows, the stylish and over-sexed
ladies of "The L Word" always make for compelling
viewing. While some have argued that the second season was
weaker than the first, we loved it more, never missing an
episode. The finale was too low on drama and had the politics
turned too high, but that's a small complaint about our favorite
TV show..
